Apathy 
​

You can tell 
in America
the truth 
but you can’t
make it think.

The Fake Race
​

An elephant
in every room
smoke and 
mirrors
and clowns
dressed
as candidates
for the 
presidency
of Wall Street.   

​

Reality
​

To understand 
the truth
of anything
ignorance 
superstition
and apathy
are the enemy
of humanity. .

Jesus got Laid
​

God was invoked 
by a psychic
Harvey Weinstein
as a rooster
to appear as 
a symbol 
of purity and vice
to the KKK  
meet a few pedos
Including the Pope 
before 
a nostalgic trek 
to the 
Garden of Eden
somewhere in Utah 
to fuck a hen
absolve 
America from sin
and return
to heaven via CNN.
